A lot of heated ‘battle’ talk about parents vs schools/teachers on the SEND reform It’s maybe worth reflecting that some people are both Insulting me as a teacher isn’t getting rid of an enemy, it’s attacking a person you claim to speak for

This half term my boys are climbing the walls… in the Upside Down House

Saw this on a resale app and someone in the Wales squad signing “eBey” is outstanding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s the rugby Christmas party and my son is out there somewhere on the pitch in his best white trainers…

I am shocked to find out that a man who has consistently shown himself to have an awful public persona for the past 20 years is also awful in private…

Why does AI keep offering to do stuff for me it can’t do? “Would you like that as a downloadable pdf with answers and diagrams?” Yes! “Sorry, I can’t do that”

Can I include my son’s “Class Clown” award as part of his ADHD assessment?

Does your child even play football if your hall isn’t full of black pellets? ⚽️

Perhaps the teacher recruitment crisis is more complex than lots of people think? 🤔

Introducing my youngest…

A half day absence is not always a half day of missed learning. A half day attendance is not always a half day of learning. The “attendance” system measures a very small window of presence at registration times.

So proud of being part of this! The end of edutwitter changed a lot but this shows there are still #teachers out there connecting You can even follow @ttradioofficial.bsky.social here too! And as always you can listen live 🎧

I think the unmeasured small complaints or challenge from parents is also a big drain on staff morale I would imagine this matches a rise in the number of parents willing to be openly critical of school staff in front of their children

My 8yo has his paints out again

Buying multiple soaps and bath bombs in a craft soap shop and I got asked if I wanted them gift wrapped as a present… I had to explain that they were for me and I just really like a bath 🛁

Being a parent volunteer at the boys’ rugby club has the privilege of the best view of the fireworks display… whilst telling people to stay off the pitch
